Have you been missing live music the last few months? Well, then you’re in luck! The Moab Backyard Theater in downtown Moab, was among the first live music venues to reopen in the entire USA, hosting a lineup of local acts Tuesday through Thursday.

Once a person develops symptoms of COVID-19, it has likely already been days since they started unknowingly spreading the virus. As such, local health officials want to expand testing locally for the coronavirus.

Arches and Canyonlands national parks will partially reopen to the public at the end of the month, according to a spokesperson for the parks, following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state and local public health authorities.

Robert was born Aug. 10, 1955 in West Covina, Calif., to John and Doris Sorensen Goodspeed. He lived in California until the family moved to Moab in the early 1960s.

He graduated from Grand County High School in 1973 and following high school took some college classes on mining. He worked in the uranium mining industry until it slowed down, and he later got into construction. He moved around, but Moab was his home base.

He is survived by his father, John C. “Jack” Goodspeed of Moab; two sons, Chase Goodspeed and Carl Miller, both of Wyoming; three brothers, Tyrone of Utah, Joe of Moab, and Phillip of Denver; three sisters, Janet Himmelberger of Tennessee, Sharon Scott of Moab and Christine Shupe of Montana; one grandchild; and numerous nephews and nieces.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Doris Couette, and one brother, Curtis Goodspeed.

At Robert’s request cremation has taken place and a private family service was held.
